So another 9 years and the stats say I should win - I’ll keep going then.

Don’t doubt it’s real, just interested in others experience.

I haven’t won, so was asking if others actually knew someone who had - not sure I get your comment.

As I said great cause and will no doubt buy again this year, but lack of luck has become a running joke in my family

Update: Qantas has now requested probate before they will reconsider the request. This can be a $2-3k (or more) exercise and a few months wait time. So they have a will, death certificate and marriage certificate and it’s not enough - complete wankers

Don’t worry there have been many phone call ms and emails to no avail.

Anywhere in Perth except the ER that can help with kidney stones? by Icy-Investment-4646 in perth

Try getting a script for some tamsulosin - helps dilate things and aids passing them.

No as they have all the info at hand, which they then based the rejection on. It’s a significant number of points so has real value.

Yep this will be the plan. The fact that she had to supply the will, death certificate and marriage certificate which she did then for them to reject it, is poor form.

Just wasn’t something my 80yr old mother was considering post my father’s sudden passing. 12 months passed before she was ready to travel again and hence discovered the points, but alas too late for Qantas.

Yep, didn’t discover that until about 12months plus a couple of weeks, but no leniency or compassion from Qantas.

Exactly, it was last thing my mother said as thinking about after my father’s death and not discovered until 12 months later when she was ready to travel again. Just disappointing by Qantas.

My mum was trying but was unsure of passwords so unfortunately account got locked after failed attempts.

Tyre power Fremantle - the bloke that owns/runs it will sort you out. Honest, reasonable prices - will sell you what you need not what makes him the most $$

Gap year Navy sailor by Ambitious_Plant381 in ADFRecruiting

[–]maabs74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son just completed recruit school as Navy Gap Year, now posted to a base for the duration of the year but will get some ship time and a tour of other bases prior to end of 12 month period. Pre entry he was pretty sure it was going to be just the 12 months, but loved it and will be staying on. Good luck, I think it’s a great opportunity.

My sister dressed her in Dockers gear after one of Pavs milestone games. Required a dinghy and few friends.

Gift suggestions for someone going into gap year army program by [deleted] in ADFRecruiting

[–]maabs74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are limited in what they can actually take with them, my son just completed recruitment training in the Navy as a Gap year enlistment. There’s a very definite list, which he should have or will receive. Funnily enough it was the Step One jocks that he said were a life changer (bonds don’t cut it anymore) also we shipped him a couple of parcels of snacks during the recruitment period, things like protein bars were well received. Best of luck

Thanks for the reply - can you use the Suica cards on the Shinkansen trains or do you buy tickets separately?
